White morning edges and the bed is halvedeating sunlight.Passing, I see my two hearts giant enormous.Your face.Your smell.This bedroom scene enlarged as a photograph,before and between and in the act of intercourse with others.Indescribable like most gods,I pick up a handful of something and it's your hair.

My lack of imagery presents you most clearly

at seven.

Ginger Ale

That night I brought blankets down to the couch and listened for the phone until you rang at two and I slept,head and cushion fused like a scar.

Sleep transforms the room to daylight.The couch is for sitting. His herringbone cap spectates from the ledge,watching the boys play football.

The green curtains are open, letting in light and breath.His jacket's on the hook behind the front door.

Upstairs, the bed has been changedand suddenly I remember I did it,crying the day before looking at the bedside and his half glass.

In Case of Fire

In a blaze, one fire may hide another fire, that is, if you are fighting one you may be fighting many. And you could be fighting a long time before it is safe to come out. In a relationship one fire may put out another, so when having sex it is important to keep all fires ignited, having matches nearby is one was to do this. One flame may hide another so it is important that birthday candles are well spaced on a cake or they may melt before one has time to enjoy them. Fear of fire can often be debilitating. It may lead to other phobias. In treating one, you don’t necessarily cure all of them; one house fire may hide another and another and then a lot of flats and Mosscroft School.One mobile fire can hide another mobile fire until an outbuilding is hardly used. In a couple, one passion can hide another. One argument can hide another, one jealousy another, a whole inferno. When in bed one face may become the face of another and haunt you long afterwards.If you are cooking, one fire can ruin another, if the food you are preparing burns the roof of your mouth and you lose your appetite. One Turner painting often resembles another, unless you spot a tiny red sail on the smallest boat. When you are seven and arguing about cushions, near a fire, be sure to lean your body away from the flames. This will prevent an eye shape being burned onto the back of your hand.In case of fire do not use the lift or staircase. It is impossible to know how many levels the fire has reached or how many fires are raging now.In this house polystyrene coals burn holes in the carpet so do not light them. One coal sometimes hides another that hides another and that one hides another in turn. Like cups of tea, these coals are useless when cold. In the desert, one burning bush can hide another until you can’t see what else is out there.At work one story about a fire opens up another until they trigger the fire alarm and one has to rush outside. If you are Richard Wright, one straw from a burning broom may follow another until the fluffy curtains are ablaze and you are hiding under the house shouting, ‘Naw!’Sometimes it seems that one bonfire, candle, funeral hides inside another and another until you are almost extinguished. In which case please break glass.
